Porsche/talking about track tires in the wet

[Tessie McMillan <tessmc@domain.elided>]

This to follow up on Scott's note about the fish-tailing 911 in the 
rain...

Scott, I still stand firmly by the Yo-Mama! Advan A032R in the wet. 
They are dangerous in the S N O W (man do I have white knuckles from my 
recent experience), but I've gotten really comfortable with them in the 
rain. For my (lowered) car, transient loss of traction seems to be due to 
a big*ss wallop of water filling up my tire wells and lifting all four 
corners off the ground. So far the worst that has happened is I get set 
back down about 3" to the right or left of where I was, with the car still 
going the same direction.

My vote still goes for driver error in the 911. At 40 mph, no need for the 
turbo to kick in, you're going in a straight line -- wide tires or not. I 
mean, really, how'd they make it all the way out to the highway without 
incident, anyway? I think it's the Red color and the possibly-turbo that 
gives it away...
